Keynote Speaker

Chris A. Zeigler Dendy

During the past forty years, I have been an author and speaker, classroom teacher, school psychologist, mental health
counselor, local and state level mental health administrator, lobbyist and executive director of a statewide mental health
advocacy organization, and national mental health consultant on children's issues. Perhaps, more importantly, I am also
the mother of two grown sons and a daughter with ADHD. As a result of our personal experiences, I was co-founder of Gwinnett
CHADD served as their clinical advisor for seven years. I served on the National CHADD Board of Directors from 2000-2005, including
terms as secretary and treasurer. I was also inducted into the CHADD Hall of Fame for outstanding contributions to the field.

My first book, Teenagers with ADD and ADHD, 2nd ed., 2006 (TWA), has been extremely popular having sold over 100,000 copies.
Subsequently a 350 page book packed with strategies for ensuring school success was released in 2000 as a companion guide to TWA.
Teaching Teenagers with ADD, ADHD, and Executive Function Deficits (2011), now in it's second edition, deals exclusively with educational
issues that challenge our children. Our book, A Bird's-Eye View of Life with ADD and ADHD, a survival guide written exclusively for
teens, preteens, and young adults by other teenagers was released in October 2003 and a second edition in 2006. We have also
produced three videos: the newest Real Life ADHD (DVD), and the older onesTeen to Teen: the ADD Experience (VHS), andFather to
Father: the ADD Experience (VHS). In addition, I was the lead author for the "CHADD Educator's Manual on ADHD" and was one of the
creators of "CHADD's Teacher to Teacher" training modules on ADHD.
